HDD Regenerator Manual

HDD Regenerator is truly like a magic wand that can repair bad sectors on your hard disk drive. This software package does this with a technique known as magnetic reversal. Of course, HDD Regenerator can only fix damage to the hard drive caused by magnetic problems. It can’t repair physical damage to the drive.

Nonetheless, this is one mean software package that packs in support for multiple hard drive types and is capable of repairing problems that even low- level formatting processes can’t. Do you know what the best part is? It won’t even cause a loss of data while it works! HDD Regenerator is THAT good.

HDD Regenerator System Requirements:

When it comes to the system requirements, this one doesn’t make a fuss. It’s compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7/8. So any windows OS from the past 10 years is just fine and you’re good to go!

The Dual Plans of Action:

What happens if your hard drive crash killed the Operating System as well? What do you then?

Never fear, this HDD Regenerator takes care of that as well! In case the computer you want to repair doesn’t have a functional Operating System, this is what you do:

Go and install the HDD Regenerator software on any other computer that has Windows Vista, XP or Windows 7/8 and just make a bootable DVD/CD or flash drive which can regenerate the hard drive.

Once this is done, boot the damaged computer from this CD, DVD or Flash drive to initiate the repair process.

That’s right. HDD Regenerator allows you to begin the process both under Windows and DOS.

What about File Systems?

Like we said before, the HDD Regenerator doesn’t complain. It’s totally compatible and doesn’t kick up any temper tantrums, no matter what you seem to throw at it! HDD Regenerator was made to operate solely on the physical level.

On a practical level, this means that any kind of file system, FAT, NTFS, you name it, HDD Regenerator can handle it with easy and finesse. Even unformatted or un-partitioned disks aren’t a problem for HDD Regenerator.

However, this can sometimes lead to a few minor issues. For instance, since HDD Regenerator won’t touch the logical aspect of the hard disk, sectors logically flagged as “bad” will continue to be shown as such even after the regeneration process has been successfully completed. This can be fixed, though. If you want to remove these marks, you can repartition the drive.

How do I Install and Uninstall HDD Regenerator?

Once again, it’s a very simple process.

First, run the executable file associated with the HDD Regenerator, which launches the Installation wizard. The wizard then guides all the way across the entire process step by step — just click “Finish” when you’re done.

To remove the software from the system, just go to Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel – Programs and Features in Windows 7/8 – and select “HDD Regenerator” from the program list.

Starting the HDD Regenerator

Starting the repair process is as simple as selecting the relevant icon on the Desktop or the Start Menu.

Of course, if you have an unregistered copy, you’ll only be able to recover the first bad sector found, with the program prompting you to start using the registered version to checks the entire hard drive.

However, if you want to regenerate a drive that doesn’t have an Operating System, go to “Regenerate” / Relevant option to create a flash drive or “Regeneration” / Relevant option to create a DVD/CD.

So Far So Good, Now What Next?

Next, select the disk that you want to regenerate.

Then select between the two available modes – both of which are pretty self-explanatory.

Next, you must key in the initial sector value.

If you wish to check the entire disc for errors, leave this field set to zero. However, if, for instance, you know the first ‘x’ GB of the disk drive doesn’t have any bad sectors, then you will enter “x,” followed by “m,” in this field. The “x” is essentially the offset, and the factor “m” balances out the actual figure in terms of bytes.

Now, all you have to do is wait until the scan completes and you’re good to go.

All in all, HDD Regenerator is one software package that has a lot of potential since bad sectors are a problem that computer users all over the world have to face. On top of that, it’s also very flexible in terms of the different kinds of Operating Systems, Hard Disk Drive types and boot methods that it can support with no problems at all.

Good morning Admin, Actually I have the lastest version of your software but I still have “connect USB as internal”, by the way my external HD has many issues for exemple I can’t even open it, when plugued I can listen to the sound but in “Device and drives” section I can’t see it, I tried also in Disk Management to add it but same result it blocks the menu. Using your software I can only proceed to the scan step but it stops there with 0% of scan ! a message at the top of the window with a red color appears telling me “USB interface hang-up ! connect the driver as internal” and an other one in bottom “121 – drive is not ready” What can I do please?

Hello, i asked you about two weeks ago what is the reason for the very long time that apeared when a tried to regenerate the second time a 1tb external hdd, to be precisely 68 hours, in compare with the firs time when i regenerate it in about 8 hours. The first reply that i posted waited to be moderated for two weeks and then disappeared.

Hi! When i start HDDREG from a bootable flash (or CD) it dosen’t detect all the capactity of my harddrives (3TB). Only detects 768GB. When I open HDDReg in windows the 3TB are detected. There is any way to get the 3TB detected in dos mode (with the bootdisk)? (i need to do in DOS mode because I use linux and i can’t reinstall windows).

I used HDD regenerator for my TOSHIBA HDD 320G, SATA, external. I had at the begining 768bad sectors and all are regenerated. On the status bar I have RRR|||||R|R|||||||||||||||. If all of them are regenerated, can I use my HDD properly now? I deleted all partitions before doing this, formating with quick format only one partition, and now I want to install Windows on it. Is there any chance to work properly? Should I make after this test a long time formating? The scan mode is faster than scan and repair?It tooks almost 12hours.

I just bought a license for the software and I wanted to know an information. I’s started the “scan and repair” of my hard disk through a USB bootable device. During the repair process, the rate of progress remains still at 0.0% after 14 hours of working to grow number are BAD sectors, and the screen flashes a red “DRIVE NOT READY” string. What I would like to know if is the process working properly or appears to be stationary. thank you very much

If HDD Regenerator finds a bad sector, will it also retest the new spare sector that was allocated by the HDD to replace the bad sector? Will the program also test the sectors around the new spare sector?

Hi, First Of all Thanks For Your Useful Program. I’ve Got Similar Question As “HaMMada” Said My 8G Sony Flash Disk Lost Space And Limited To 1.92G I Used Acronis Disk Directer For Formatting But , The Same Problem You Answered That There’s “Reset Flash Size” Option On 2011 Version But , Sorry I Got 2011 Version But There Is Not Such An Item In It The Main Page Is So Simple As Other Previous Versions, Can You Specify The Right Path For Reaching This Item You Said Or Atleast Tell Me Another Way For Taking Back My Lost Space.

I used “regenerate all sectors in a range” of bootable HDD Regenerator 2011, then I terminated the process because it really takes too long time. And i find that all data of the hdd lost and become no partition.

It is the effect of this process ?? How can I recover it as original ??

i hava a WD7500BPKT-22PK4T0 750GB use HDD Regenerator in dos model, when take more than one day ,progress only 86%(86% during more than 3 hours),i want to cancel the process , press Esc but not work ,so use computer’s restart key ,after reboot no disk can find in HDD or BIOS, why? what’s matter

It sounds like your hard drive has a physical breakage (damaged logical card or disk heads) rather than magnetic errors on the surface. Try to power off your computer, wait several minutes, then power it on again (restarting is not sufficient).

I have a Toshiba 1TB external HDD. I’m trying to fix it by regenerating. The scanning is really fast, however, regenerating a bad sector usually takes several minutes and I have thousands of bad sectors. Some badsectors even take a hour to regenerate… How can I skip a bad sector and move on? It seems taking forever…

I’ve a question. I’m scanning with the repair option a 320GB disk. The scan is running since 12 hours and the estimated time remaining is increasing and it is now 75 hours. It processed 42.5 GB and starting from 28GB it started finding/regenerating 5200 bad sectors. I’ve two question if you can please answer me: 1) will the time left decrease if the tool finds a good portion of the disk and process it faster than now? I guess that the time increases cause he is finding a lot of bad sectors, but I hope it will go faster once processed the bad portion of the disk 2) if I stop the process before it finishes, are the changes committed? I mean, the regenerates sectors will be kept correct?

The message is common for all hard drives and if at least 1 hard drive is working in the AHCI mode, you will see this message. If the hard drive you want to recover is working in the IDE mode, just ignore this message.

I was impressed with the demo version of your software but would like to know is there a way to export the scan/repair results to a text file or equivalent? This would be very useful as a reporting feature for my customer repairs.

Thanks for the quick reply. Another question relating to SSD’s if I may, the windows based HDD Regen App is stating that my new OCZ Agility 3 drive is about to fail. I’ve not had any symptoms from the drive to make me think this is true, is this just an issue with SSD’s in general in the way the app monitors it, or should I be worried?

I want ask several things about using HDD Regenerator v2011 1. Are using USB, ATA, SATA has a different speed in repairing HDD? 2. Are Computer device such processor, affecting speed when repairing HDD? Thanks

The repairing speed for SATA in compatible IDE mode is faster than SATA in AHCI mode and USB. Processor affects the repairing speed, however the affecting of processor is minimized in the latest version of the product.

I have a 160Gb Seagate HDD and before I use it I ran HDD Regen on it just to check. My results were 0 sector reallocated, 0 delays, 0 sector remain bad, 0 sectors recovered, 0 new bad sectors, 0 bad sector reappear. Scanned this drive twice and both times during scan i got the message back up data immediately. Is this drive safe to use? I was planning on zero filling the drive before formatting for use but don’t know if drive is ok now.

hdd regenerator has in the past fixed s.m.a.r.t issuses when the problem was “current pending reallocated sector” went from 0% health in speedfan to 92% after a pass with hdd regenerator, but only when the problem was in this attribute , keep that in mind when checkingsmart of your harddrive thanks to the creator of this software, nice product.

Hi i have vaio nw270f and i can’t change to ide and the hdd regenerator does not work on AHCI!!!!! aftar 5 percent it says “hard drive is not ready!” and recommand me change to ide mode what should i do?

I have a home theater PC with 5 drives totaling 10TB. The C drive is the problem as I have bad sectors and received the message “Backup Data Immediately” which I assume means there is a serious problem with the drive. Is this correct and if so should I replace the drive?

In most cases, the “Backup Data Immediately” message means that the hard drive has a hardware (mechanical) problem. If HDD Regenerator constantly reports “Backup Data Immediately”, the hard drive should be replaced.

The current version of the product supports external hard drives directly under Windows. So, you can repair it as a external drive, but USB interface has a lot of limitations, for example, the regeneration speed may be slow.

Nobody can tell in advance what is the cause of your HDD’s slow work. Maybe your problem is mostly the delays, not the bad sectors. Hdd Regenerator repairs delays and bad sectors as well.

The current version of the product supports external hard drives directly under Windows. However, a better way (with a better performance) to repair an external drive is to dismount the failed drive from the external case and connect it as an internal drive, but this requires some skill in computer assembling.

I ran HDD Regeneartor under DOS mode and selected “scan and repair”. The program recover meny bad sectors but not delay sectors. If delay sectors are permanent, do you recommend to make partitions to separate such sectors as a solution? I think about it, but not investigate how to do this yet. Any recommendation or other idea? For the moment, I can´t afford a new dick.

Hdd Regenerator repairs delays. If your hdd is external, it’s better that you plug it as an internal drive. If you have delays under Windows, it’s better to rescan the hdd from a bootable regenerating CD/flash. Permanent delays shows that your hdd has sectors with long access time. A hdd with permanent delays is actually failing drive and may cause data losses. Try to regenerate this kind of sectors with “Regenerate all sectors in a range” option. Also, the delays can be regenerated with “scan and repair” option, if the following both conditions are met:

If you still have delays, such delays are permanent then the hdd should be replaced. Generally, 1-2 delays are not a problem. Your hdd will work. Unfortunatelly, later the amount of permanent delays will increase and you should be replace a hard disk.

hi….i have a problem with scanning my wd 500 gb hd on my pc …. the problem is when i try to scan the hard in dos mode the scan time shows 18 hours to complete….and when i scan in windows the scan finishes in 1:30 hour….the thing is when i scan in windows i cant scan drive c…which i think contains bad sectors…i tried my hard on another pc and the scan time in dos shows 1:30 hour…i dont know why is that …i even tried connecting my hd to external power supply n i got the same 18 hours ….can any one tell me whats wrong?? or if there is a way to know drive c sectors so i can scan them without scanning all the hd….thanks

Dears , i have harddisk got blue screen error and after restarting the system , it used to get stuck again to the blue screen after reaching the XP windows loading , i have read alot about HDD regenrator tool , but my concern to know that we use a tool to encrypt the data called pointsec, and while using to decrypt the data i got blue screen again , and when i take the harddisk to connect it via USB it never show in the device manager even there is sound coming out from it , is using the HDD regenrator will give its wanted result in my case having encryption tool to the data and will i be able to backup that data again.. thanks alot in advance for any advice would help …

However, a better way (with a better performance) to repair an external drive is to dismount the failed drive from the external case and connect it as an internal drive. HDD Regenerator works at physical level and does not change a logical structure of a hard drive. It can be used with encrypted drives without data changes and without data losses

Hi, i have a problem in using HDD regenerator. I detected that my HDD have delays and bad sector but it cannot be repair because it said that my drive is set to AHCI. My bios don’t have setting for changing AHCI to IDE mode. What can i do?

Hi. I am suffering, really ! My son dropped my external Hitachi 2TB USB drive on a hard floor from 1 meters height. Then it won’y load, it gives “cyclic redundancy error” and Win7 says it has to be formatted.

I ran a recovery software I have which managed to salvage some of the files, but was getting stuck at bad sectors.

I ran HDD Regeneartor on it under DOS mode and selected the “mode repair” starting from sector 0.

A- How can 1529959 sectors be only 0.03% of the 1863 GB ? B- How can I know approximately the amount of bad sectors and where they are located (like a map of the HD or something) ? C- Assuming the HD is the English alphabet, and bad sectors are located in the ares of (A , F G , L , S , V W , Z ) which means they are distributed in different areas, will the software move quickly between those areas? I mean, after finishing area A , will it quickly scan B,C,D,E areas and just jump to the next area containing the bad sectors (F) ? I am asking this because the software is very slow and I want to know if it will be able to do something significant, and I want to know which are the good areas, so that I would again run the other file recovery software on those areas exclusively.

The regeneration process is not file system dependent. It doesn't matter if you regenerate before format or after it. If you have already created a bootable regenerating CD/DVD or flash, installation of the product is not needed. If your hard drive is hot during the process you can use the cooling pad. (the product has a temperature indicator if the process is started directly under Windows) You can try to regenerate delays using the "Regenerate all sectors in a range" option. Also, the delays can be regenerated in the “scan and repair” mode, if the following both conditions are met: 1. The hard drive has been completely scanned at least 1 time. 2. The hard drive does not contain bad sectors.

Hi, I have a big problem about my back up drive right now. I have Sata 500Gb Hard Disk and it contains about 400GB+ data files. There is some accident happens that my Hard Drive becomes to "RAW", when I try to double click it it shows me an error "D: is not accessible. The parameter is incorrect." I check it into the Disk Management and its healthy. When I saw HDD Regenerator first thing I do is, I try to Prescan my Hard Disk and it shows me "580+ bad sector". Second is I choose Normal Scan and from their I choose "Regenerate all sectors in a range" but its said "Not Recommended if there are important datas."

My question is:

If i continue to regenerate my Hard Drive, all my important data files that I have in their will be automatically deleted?

However, a better way (with a better performance) to repair an external drive is to dismount the failed drive from the external case and connect it as an internal drive, but this requires some skill in computer assembling.

Hi, I have LaCie product – 500 GB external hdd and there are some problems.

I started checking and repairing mode several times in Windows and from bootable USB but it fails every time when it found first bad sectors. Then I started simple scan and it shows near 10 thousand bad sectors only at 14% ! I understand that it is not very big amount in comparison with all hdd, but still. These are my questions:

1. How I can start repair mode?

2. Does it make any sense repairing this hdd?

P.S. – I can save old information from hard drive, only new one crashes to read.

If you see delays under Windows, it is recommended to rescan the drive from a bootable regenerating CD or flash. If your hard drive is external, it is recommended that you connect it as an internal drive. Permanent delays mean that the hard drive has sectors with long access time.

A drive with permanent delays is actually failing drive and may cause data losses. You can try to regenerate such sectors using the "Regenerate all sectors in a range" option. Also, the delays can be regenerated in the "scan and repair" mode, if the following both conditions are met:

1. The hard drive has been completely scanned at least 1 time. 2. The hard drive does not contain bad sectors.

If you still have permanent delays, then the hard drive should be replaced.

when i scanned the hdd, it detected MANY delays so i tried using the “Regenerate all sectors in a range” option

1. If we regenerate the hdd using the “Regenerate all sectors in a range” option, will it delete the files or something? because when i choose that option, it said that not recommended if there are important datas.

I started scanning my Toshiba internal HDD 120GB using this software. Its been now 70 hours and it has detected 2200 bad sectors and only 420 bad sectors have been regenerated…..its been 1 day it has only regenerated 420 bad sectors and has scanned only 60% of my HDD. Can anyone suggest me any solution… should I stop the scan or do something else….I am really fed-up of this 3 day scan….Please suggest me any solution!!!! Thanks

The regeneration time depends on how many bad sectors your hard drive has. The process goes much faster after a damaged area is passed. You can approximately evaluate regeneration time if you know the number of bad sectors on your hard drive surface. To determine location and presumable number of bad sectors you can pause the process, then check different parts of your disk by means of the "starting sector" option, and then based on the time elapsed, calculate the overall repairing time.

In some cases very slow regeneration may imply that the hard drive contains unrecoverable bad sectors. Therefore, if some bad sectors were already recovered, we recommend you to restart your computer, and start the process again to ensure that the bad sectors, which were already fixed, do not appear again. (Second scanning of the repaired part of the drive will not take much time). If the recovered bad sectors do not appear again, and if you have sufficient time, you can continue the process until completion.

If not all bad sectors are recovered during a first pass, several passes may fix the problem.

I have a brand new Seagate 3TB external USB drive that will be used to backup very sensitive information. During the first three hours of use, it seems that read and write operations are working fine in the hard drive.So, before writing real data to the hard drive I decided to run HDD Regenerator tool in order to ensure that nothing is wrong with the hard drive. As it´s a really big hard drive (3TB), the tool estimates about 35 hours to complete and it´s currently at 10% of total sectors.

My questions are:

1) Forcing the drive to work for so long time continuously (aproximately 35 hours) will make it prone to failures?

2) So far HDD Regenerator did not detect any bad sectors but has already detected 5 delays. Is it a good number ? Or a bad number ? I´ve seen in previous posts that 1 or 2 delays are not that bad. So what about these 5 delays on the first 10% of sectors (279GB read so far out of 3TB).

3) Based on these preliminary results, should I return the drive to the store?

1) HDD Regenerator does not load a hard drive more than an operating system does. Hard drive can work continuously for a long time. Thus 35 hours and more of continuous work is not a problem for a hard drive, especially in HDD Regenerator’s sequential mode (in contrast to heavy Windows’ fragmented mode, when hard drive’s heads move rapidly and randomly).

2) External hard drives may indicate false delays. If your hard drive is external, it is recommended to connect it as an internal drive for proper tests.

3) Even if you see 5 delays on an INTERNAL drive, this is not a reason to change it by warranty (until you see HDD Regenerator’s “Backup Data Immediately” message during a scanning process, which definitely means a problem with the hard drive). However you should check internal hard drive with delays periodically and you should be careful to store sensitive data on such hard drive. This is related to internal hard drives only, delays on external hard drives do not mean a problem.

1: You can try to regenerate such sectors using the “Regenerate all sectors in a range” option. Also, the delays can be regenerated in the “scan and repair” mode, if the following both conditions are met: 1. The hard drive has been completely scanned at least 1 time. 2. The hard drive does not contain bad sectors. If you still have delays, such delays are permanent then the hard drive should be replaced. But in your case, 1 delay is not the problem. Your hdd will work. Unfortunately, later the amount of permanent delays will increase and you should be replace a hard disk.

2: HDD Regenerator works at physical level. So the speed doesn’t depend you have a FAT32 or NTFS. Software works with any type of file system and also with unformatted or unpartitioned disks.

hi ,,,i have completed and got the result .:there are more than 300 delays detected and 0 bad..what does mean delays detected ?what problem about my disk? recently i feel my computer is really slow and often no response.

Please check boot priority settings in the system BIOS and make sure the regenerating disk you created is chosen as a first boot device. Also check if your CD device does not have a hardware problem and works properly. Try to use another CD-R disks or flash drive.

I'm trying to create a bootable USB but it always fails. It says either error has occured and it was not created or that drive is in use (that is wrong, USB is empty and formatted) and all the programs should be closed (running nothing but HDD Regenerator). It has 2 GB of size, is that a cause? Should it be larger? What am I doing wrong? I'm going crazy, need help please!

i have a WD 500AAKS-65YGA0 the problematic cipset one (spin-up or head-kille r[specific HDD controller problem on all this series]). i got at prescan some delays a lots of :)) than i'll do repair all in range to see if it does some miracle . i used it before and yes i'm proud of this program
